Daily Toy News — September 1, 2026

Tuesday's haul mixes big swings with steady bread and butter releases, from a display stand sized Transformers Megatron that turns into his own faction logo to a 33 inch subscription build of Sauron himself. Marvel, Star Wars, MOTU, GI Joe, and more all get pre-order love too, so there's plenty to sort through today.

Masters of the Universe Chronicles Orko

Orko was the last figure a lot of us expected to get the premium treatment, but here we are. Mattel is building this Chronicles version off his surprise appearance in the new Masters of the Universe movie, right down to the modern redesign. The sculpt keeps his floating gimmick honest with a display stand that lets him hover above the shelf, and his glowing eyes randomize each time you pose him for a little extra personality. He comes with a magic wand and two swappable effects pieces so you can build out a spell in progress, all on an 11 point articulated frame, more posable than you'd expect from a floating wizard. Pre-orders are open now.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) Movie Poster Sewer MiniCo

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) Movie Poster Sewer MiniCo

Iron Studios keeps mining classic poster art for its MiniCo line, and this time it's the sewer artwork from the 1990 TMNT movie poster getting the vinyl treatment. It's an Entertainment Earth exclusive capped at just 706 pieces in the US, so if that stylized turtles-in-the-sewer look is your thing, don't sit on it. MiniCo figures live and die on nailing that poster silhouette in three dimensions, and pulling from the original theatrical art gives this one an easy nostalgia hook for anyone who grew up with the live action movie. Pre-orders are open now at Entertainment Earth.

Mondo keeps expanding its Real Ghostbusters 1/12 line, and Louis Tully is the latest to join with a full loadout: proton pack, Ghost Trap, PKE Tracker, Ecto Goggles, and interchangeable portraits all included. What makes this a set worth grabbing is the Timed Edition pairing, Grundel and Alec come along for the ride, recreating one of the animated series' more memorable ghost encounters rather than shipping as a solo figure. Timed Editions only stick around for a limited pre-order window, this one runs through Friday, September 18 at 1am EDT directly through Mondo, so decide early if you want it. Loadout accessories like this are where Mondo's Ghostbusters line has consistently delivered.


Masters of the Universe 200X Skeletor

Masters of the Universe 200X Skeletor

Mondo's 200X line keeps pulling from the 2002 reimagining, and Skeletor is now in stock as a 1:12 scale figure. The 200X aesthetic gave Skeletor a more armored, battle ready look compared to his vintage counterpart, and Mondo's scale means he'll stand shoulder to shoulder with the rest of their MOTU output rather than towering over it. This one is for the shelf if you've been building out the 200X series specifically, since these releases don't always overlap cleanly with the vintage or Origins lines. It's in stock now at Entertainment Earth.

G.I. Joe Classified Series Arctic B.A.T.

The Classified Series adds a cold weather B.A.T. to the roster, and Hasbro loaded this one up: eight accessories including a chainsaw hand attachment, a backpack, two additional weapons, an alternate head, and three interchangeable chest plates for troop building. That chest plate swap is the detail worth noting if you're running multiples, since it's an easy way to break up a squad of B.A.T.s without buying separate paint variants. It also comes with its own footlocker to store the extra gear, a nice touch for a figure this accessory heavy. It's 6 inch scale, highly articulated, and pre-orders are open now.

Back to the Future Part II: DeLorean Floating Statue

Beast Kingdom's Egg Attack line takes on the flying DeLorean from Back to the Future Part II, and the floating gimmick is the whole appeal here: a magnetic display base holds the roughly 7 3/4 inch car hovering above your shelf instead of just sitting on wheels. It's built with a silver metallic finish, visible wiring and engine detail, multiple LED light up functions, and gull wing doors that actually move, plus swappable wheel sets so you can pose it in driving or flying mode. The scaled down hoverboard and sports almanac accessories are a nice nod for anyone who wants the full Part II reference on the shelf next to it. It runs on a Type C charging cable, though you'll need to grab a 12V adapter separately, and it's up for pre-order now at Entertainment Earth.

Lord of the Rings: Sauron Large Scale Build-Up Model

Fanhome is taking on Sauron for its subscription build model line, and the scale alone makes this one stand out: 33 inches tall when finished, built from Weta Workshop's original 3D assets for the armor and weapons. The accessory list is substantial for a subscription build, an adjustable fabric cape, a 17 inch mace, an 18.8 inch sword, a dagger, a broken Narsil, and a replica of Elendil's helmet all come together on the display base. Since this ships as a monthly build over time rather than one box, it's more of a long term project than an impulse pickup, but the armor and texture detail described here goes well beyond what you'd get from a standard statue. US and UK pre-orders open this September, with the first components shipping this fall.


Transformers Icons Decepticon Megatron

Transformers Icons Decepticon Megatron

Hasbro's Icons line gives Megatron a fittingly symbolic alternate mode: he transforms into the Decepticon logo itself, complete with a display stand, rather than into a gun or tank like his classic toy forms. It's a clever way to treat a character who's as much a brand mascot as he is a combatant, and it should look sharp displayed either as the badge or racked up in robot mode. He's priced at $46.99 and ships in December 2026. Pre-orders are open now at Entertainment Earth and Amazon.

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro: The Animated Series

Marvel Legends Spider-Man Retro: The Animated Series

Hasbro is bringing back the Retro Spider-Man figure that leans on the vintage ToyBiz packaging style from the mid 1990s, tying it to the character's look in Spider-Man: The Animated Series. It's part of a run of retro reissues that lean hard into packaging nostalgia as much as sculpt accuracy, so if you grew up with the ToyBiz line this one is aimed squarely at you. It's priced at $34.99 and expected to ship in December 2026. Pre-orders are live now at Entertainment Earth and Amazon.

Marvel Legends X-Force: Domino, Rictor and Cannonball

Marvel Legends X-Force: Domino, Rictor and Cannonball

Hasbro is reissuing the X-Force trio of Domino, Rictor, and Cannonball, based on their classic Marvel Comics appearances. Selling them as a set instead of individually makes sense for a squad book like X-Force, where the team dynamic is half the appeal. At $84.99 for three figures it isn't cheap, but sets like this rarely get restocked once they sell through the first run. It ships in December 2026, with pre-orders open now at Entertainment Earth and Amazon.

Star Wars The Black Series Halloween Edition: Mon Calamari, Tusken Raider and Togruta

Hasbro's seasonal Halloween Edition line hits three fan favorite species this round, a Mon Calamari, a Tusken Raider, and a Togruta, each done up with a spookier stylized paint treatment rather than screen accurate deco. These Halloween Editions have become a nice yearly excuse for Hasbro to put out species and background characters that might not otherwise get a mainline release, so it's worth a look even if horror themed repaints aren't usually your thing. Each figure is priced at $27.99 and ships in September 2026, so this one moves fast. Pre-orders are open now at Entertainment Earth and Amazon.

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) Godzilla

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) Godzilla

Hiya Toys continues working through the Godzilla filmography with an Exquisite Basic Series figure pulled from 2000's Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, standing about 18cm tall. The sculpt focuses on the rugged skin texture and layered dorsal fins from that specific movie suit, with a dark gray green body and purple pink gradient fins matching the film's distinct color treatment. Multiple body joints and a multi jointed tail give it a wide range of dynamic poses, and it comes with two interchangeable hands for swapping between claw attacks and battle stances. It's priced between $55.99 and $64.99 and isn't expected to ship until the third quarter of 2027, so this is very much a patience purchase. Pre-orders are open now at Amazon, with an Entertainment Earth listing coming soon.
